“I hate this part.”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQtdOakOdt
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhCX4IsZYR
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqLtLoSz05
“Rhim!”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGkcYqjXah
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH4V7Za8Uy
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53q0eZBWZg
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZpPZQillP
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uwFEVdpQO
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FB9QwEmZb
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHISLP7gaFb
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDecYfrlKG
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbSjuEg7QI
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDurggZbeP
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0O9iDvntn
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL2Nm4GXJp
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ftFolnWWx
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87kBJtAn2b
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aAYcHTLqa
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCOZOb7THL
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD9bNcE59m
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfS4MhQj7h
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDeVO33TSK
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Md7v8wopO
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFTOiEVlfn
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAiRuWGvMj
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NWp9NWEY9
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyDBAvFbzD
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCzfekzzqb
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULLihSLUgJ
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdYG7NkfuJ
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtltCYKk48
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdANfKf4SX
“In three... two... one... Mark!”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs6GHkkTXA
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOkAndSoTt
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGbjUGux4Z
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vpZsF0dwV
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KYspMCUW1
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjmbElVqzu
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHlEMJMN8f
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxkvivIYIs
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTvGFbmMrc
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSLJf1LnVY
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ppKi7QqLR
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLtl3oHjAS
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV855IzOsx1
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrxbiwme80
more and then impact was finally made...295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVELeS4qqM
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMpiWSRPLL
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEJXg41HUl
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGD9yqYdyVH
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY1CQOiGOl
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqTwvytrgM
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPs46xnhD7
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvtquFBhWM
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5ngr9irux
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XmdlyLbw3
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.

“And as our hearts sing and dance at the immoral rhythm of life,295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0diwUzj87
we play its tune with each of our wrongful deeds.”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K1fk69lXe
